Ferguson protesters marched in St. Louis Sunday and defamed memorials, one of which is over 100 years old.

The group Anarcho-Communist Solidarity Alliance took credit for defaming two different landmarks. One landmark, on Flora Place and South Grand Boulevard, with tagged with The Hunger Games inspired, “If we burn, you burn with us – FTP.” The defamation has since been painted over.

The group also took credit for defaming a statue called “Naked Truth,” a more than 100-year-old memorial honoring three German-American Republicans and civil rights leaders: Emil Preetorius, Carl Daenzer, and Carl Schurz. Protesters sprayed “FTP” on the front of the statue.

“Carl Schurz was a civil rights hero. Co-founder of the Missouri Republican Party, he served as a Union Army general during the Civil War and as ambassador to Spain. He was sent on a fact-finding mission in the postwar South soon after the Confederacy collapsed, and his report shook the nation. Schurz recounting the horrors inflicted by Democrats on the emancipated slaves.”

The protests took place near the memorial of Vonderrit Myers, Jr. Myers was killed last month by an off-duty police officer who was working for a security firm at the time. The officer shot him after Myers confronted him in an aggressive manner.

In June, Myers was charged with “Unlawful Use of a Weapon” and “Resisting/Interfering With Arrest, Detention Or Stop.” St. Louis Police Department officials described him as being “no stranger to law enforcement.”

These protests came just one day before the grand jury in Ferguson reached a decision on whether or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown, but as of publication the decision has not yet been made public.
